feeling lost

[priyanw]

I've been doing well (or I thought I had been) for a few days now. Managing to get out and do more things, not suffering from such strong feelings of anxiety when in a busy place - actually enjoying myself, doing okay at work too.

But now i just feel like i thought wrong - I'm feeling really low and randomly really hurt by people having said that i just need to learn to deal with it and not get so stressed. I'm too scared to reach out to anyone with this feeling because of the judgements that have been shared with me after a few brighter days.

It's hurtful when people judge something they don't understand. Depression/anxiety is a disease and not something we can just get over or snap out of. You need people who celebrate the good days with you, and understand/give grace the bad days. That's what this community can do. I'm happy for your better days! Hang in there, we understand.

I hate when people tell you not to be stressed. They have no idea how you feel so pay no heed to them. I know exactly how you feel. That’s why I quit talking to certain people and just focus on who gets me. Because like you said they will just bring you down and make you feel much worse. Message me sometimes. I feel like I can relate to you. 🙏🏼

Thanks - but what do you do when the people who are making you feel this way are part of your everyday life? Sometimes it just feels like there's no one left who won't judge - hence the coming online anonymously
